It was supposed to be a girls' weekend in scenic St. George, Utah, that would include shopping, trying out the local cuisine, and participating in a breast cancer fund-raiser. The fact that one of the organizers of the fund-raising event, a local doctor, had disappeared two months before was not supposed to be Sadie Hoffmiller's problem.

Con el fin de desviar su atención hacia otra parte, la joven planea pedirle a Mathew Hensley que finja cortejarla.
